When you get your hands on Brink next week, you’ll see it offers tons of variety. But exactly how much? Recently our Brink statisticians did some crunching and came up to some crazy numbers that reach into the quadrillions.

Even though there are that many options you always seem to find that one person that is similar to you. Looking at the customizations options I honestly think you just broke a world (video game) record.

Customization is a big deal for me so it makes me happy to have all these options. Only thing throwing me off is the 45 ways to die. That’s insane.

This game is going to produce some outstanding YouTube videos. With that many player customizations, the odds of having twins are fairly low. There’s probably going to be clans that choose to have the same outfit, but that’s resonable.

I’m not really impressed by the size of these numbers and neither should anyone who paid attention for five minutes in the stochastics part of his math class. Still, the ones not regarding the customization options are interesting. I wonder if the number of ways to die includes each weapon (different weapon = different way to die?).

The huge number of other variations makes Bethesda’s conjecture that there isn’t “space” to include female models seem that much more ridiculous.

Bethesda: “If we’d added female models, we’d have had to cut in half the number of assets we planned to make as each would need a male and a female version.” — “we were faced with an incredibly tough choice: massively cut back the amount of customization options as well as the quality of the assets, or cut female models.”

You know what? Half of 102,247,681,536,000,000 is still pretty fuggin huge.

This game is a disapointment. I have been gaming for over 20 years and i feel ripped-off. The trailer does not represent what you gethen you purchase this game. Characters float around aimlessly, objectives are unclear. I can go on and on discribing problems with this game.
